Rare Pets?

Pre-launch I purchased one of the Guar plushes that came with a code.

Still have my plush sitting by the TV, but I'm xbox, so I've never been able to use the code.

Maybe one day that lil Guar will be able to join me on my adventures.

Can Xbox really not use it? Just redeem on account screen on PC?

It's been forever ago, but I think I tried that and.... nada!

I had big hopes when they eventually added the "enter codes" dialog box to the menu on consoles but again... zilch!

One day I'm hoping ZOS'll figure it out.

Until then... My lil' Guar plushy will sit next to the TV and have to enjoy the adventure's from afar.

There's quite a few from various places.

As well as the ones already mentioned there were 2 or 3 which were given to people who paid for certain amount of subscription time in the first year (I remember an ice wraith and a dwarven sphere, not sure if there was another one), a pig which I think was only available as part of a real-life promotion and a mud crab or something you got for buying real life merchandise.

Yes! These are what I consider the rarest pets.
My favorite, Bristlegut Piglet from 2014 QuakeCon.


Then theres the Ice Wrath Pet for 3 month loyalty reward~


Dwarven Sphere for 6 month loyalty reward~


Also, like the guar mentioned earlier, they had a Whiterun Wolfhound available with some "Skyrim" promotion that gave a ESO Pet code, around 2014 or 2015 iirc... Then the Mudcrab from a Con in 2016??
I know there is a few more, but IMO, these are the rarest as they were not available in game and no longer available.
And of course the Beta Monkey..

Rarest pet by far is the Crony Scrib, awarded as a code with the purchase of a plush collectible.

The rarest mount is the Hollowjack Flame-Skull Senche, radiant apex mount from the hollowjack crown crates.

The rarest mount is the Stripped Sench Tiger given as a Loyalty Reward.

How do you know that's the rarest? I didn't know ZOS had ever released sales data for the plush toys, so I'm not sure how anyone could work out which of them sold the least and therefore has the rarest pet.

I spent a good amount of time collecting images of the pets. To be exact, it took me over a year to track down someone with that pet. Any pc pet from before the transfer is rarer than the ones you could get on all three servers once One Tamriel came out. PC pets that were awarded as part of a physical item are rarer than those that were offered as a digital item in game. Let 7 years pass by and they will be the rarest pets on the servers among the active community. It’s not some elaborate equation, it’s mostly common sense. Those pets are not being recycled, so they have a finite supply on the servers, while pets like the purple bantam guar or twitch rewards are give out with every passing stream.

Based on the source of each pet… The number of players still around after 7 years, that happened to attend Comic-Con in 2014, and purchased the plush fighters guild journeyman is by far the lowest number.

It may be the rare as in how you get it, but not rare by how many exist on the servers. There are 11 on the Xbox na server alone that I know of. That is only counting pc players that paid for a year and transferred. On pc anyone that had the game at launch and bought a one year card right of the bat got one. So very exclusive … yes but not rare. On the other hand, I have yet to find someone with the hollowjack flame skull senche.

I don't collect or use non combat pets but i would only use bantam guars. I love them, i love saying "bantam guar", they are just so cute and i wish they existed in real life.

Got the beta monkey which doesn't seem so rare lately, seeing another one pretty much daily.

Have the Bristlegut Piglet from 2014?

And the Mudcrab that came with the irl plush toy (2015? idk...). Gave the plush toy to lil niece or nephew lol, kept the code ofc.

Have some very red firey guar from a Quake Con a few yrs ago, which oddly looks almost exactly like the red glowy guar they released to everyone like 6 mos later rip lol.

I use Atmoran Bantam Guar on my main character since May 2019, when those surveys were sent



This pet is also the symbol of good old days for me.
Nowadays,
when everyone can easily get old vDSA and vMA weapons from normal modes,
when all titles and skins are sold as carries everywhere,
when Champion Points have no meaning and no power,
when Radiant Apex mounts can now be bought,
when exclusive items can soon be earned for Seals of Endeavors...

...this little buddy is still priceless

I actually won a Bristlegut Piglet code from Al Faires trade guild way back in the day. I think that since then, the Bristlegut was released in the Crown Store or via some other means.

What's the Guars name?

I def agree with this analysis. One also has to consider how hard it would be to find an unused code from those physical goods this many years after the fact.

I'd gotten the beta monkey.
When the game launched, someone in our guild had the alpha / closed beta pig.
I'm not finding any information about this pig. Does anyone else have it or know what it was called?
That pig might be the rarest of the rare.

That would probably be a Bristlegut Pig. I believe that these were originally give out by code cards.

They may have been from an early Quake Con

Later on, these became a monthly login reward.

Yes, those were given out at the Quakcon 2014. I had a hook up and got 12 that I raffled off in my guild. What was offered later in login rewards were different than the originals. Different skin. And yup, they are rare.

I could have swore that it was the Bristlegut that was reused for the login rewards, but it seems like it wasn't!

There is also a some information that old Muddles was given away as part of an old Humble Bundle.

Speaking of rare pigs, I wonder who does and doesn't have Fuchsia!
